Pure 4-3 defense.

[heelinfine]

When was the last time the Panthers lost when playing a team that ran a pure 4-3 defense?

If I'm not mistaken, all of our losses last year and this year were against 3-4 defenses.

Seattle runs a hybrid 4-3/3-4.

I honestly think that our offense will be very productive against Cincinnati, and our D gets back on track.

I believe we take this one, I'm more worried about Green Bay and their 3-4 defense next week.

Seattle last year.

Well that's why we have coaches, time for them to get their head out of thier ass and scheme for 4-3 defenses

It's not friggen rocket science.

That may be true, but I don't think Pitt or Baltimore running a 3/4 defense had anything to do with them running the ball thru our defense like a hot knife slicing swiss cheese.

Agreed. It might have something to do with their DLine running through us, though.

You would think that the people getting paid to gameplan would notice our struggles against 3-4 defenses and plan accordingly...

It's hard for a team to just switch to a 34 week to week. It requires a specific skill set from your players.

It requires fast and agile tackles, that can slide protection as well as set the edge.

Andy Dalton seems happy to be going against a 4-3 D in the Panthers as well:

What defense does Carolina remind you of?

“They're a four-down team, so it's more similar to what our defense does. We've been going against so many 3-4 teams, so we're kind of going back to certain things that are similar to what our defense does

Our problem was players playing out of postion, trying to make to much happen instead of playing their assigned gaps,a problem that hopefully was addressed and fixed.
